Yard Sale Saturday

Yard sales. Love those sales. Except for when they put the sign up 10 miles away. I never did get to that sale today. Forget it. I wasn't going to spend $20 in gas for maybe a good deal. But I did ok today. Some days are better than others. And while there were a lot of sales, I only bought at 2 of them.

First sale, my son netted an aquarium for only a buck. $1 for this 5 (?) gallon aquarium (I'm not sure of the actual capacity. I know it's smaller than my daughter's 2 10 gallon aquariums). The guy said it was new with no leaks. My oldest son wanted it and as soon as he got home he filled it up.

I had just been thinking about these sunsuits for the baby. Nice and cool for summer.
$1 each. Also a couple pair of jeans and a pair of shorts. And a polo shirt.

The rest of this is for a friend. She just had a baby boy. Her first baby. Brand new sling, never used, $12 and some sleepers and onesies, mostly for when he's older, $1 each. All the baby stuff was from the same yard sale.




Oh, yeah, and I almost forgot - some books for the girls, The Boxcar Children. One of the girls is reading them so I didn't get a picture. 6 at .25 each, $1.50.

Overall, some really good deals.

I'm linking up at Raising Olives. She netted some good deals today, too. Go check it out.


Until next time...

Those are some good deals.

And I despise when people post signs for their sales and then you can't find them...

Hey great deals...especially the aquarium. We payed way more for a one gallon at walmart.

For the record I didn't actually let the kids collect nickles...just joked about it. :) someday I will have to write about the nickle jar and you'll understand why!
